First and foremost, you want to determine if there is an alignment or friction problem in your drivetrain, or a resistance problem in your wiring, that is causing this. For example, see this post. If you find a problem, it is far better to correct it at the source.

Secondly, What kind of drivetrain do you have, and what is your driver interface? I ask because there may be better ways to compensate.
